I am very surprised by these numbers. Actually shocked More visit the Dominican Republic then the Bahamas? I simply don't believe these numbers. Makes no sense Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Because you're such an expert. lol If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I think a lot of people will not leave the resort area, and if it's cheap and they had a good time (and didn't die), it would attract people. There are other places in the world like that. As long as you don't leave the tourist area -- and the place doesn't erupt in revolution. and terrorist don't attack your hotel...good times.

What a refreshing post TP so few on this forum will admit when they make a mistake. I mean this sincerely and not as a dig at you. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

| odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 165 Posts: 6381 | There's a growing suspicion that some of the tourists that are dying in the D.R. are being poisoned.

Other than a serial killer, could be a bootleg liquor operation. Various service staff replace the more select liquor with a cheap replacement. Perhaps not a very safe replacement. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

Having just gotten married there a week or so after the first mystery death, I can explain the allure. Gorgeous beaches. Immaculate pools. Perfect weather. Great food. Unlimited alcohol. VERY REASONABLY priced. All weighed against the extremely small number of bad outcomes when compared to the huge denominator of travelers there. I would be comfortable going back, but I think wifey would not. We are going to honeymoon on Santorini in a few weeks. Probably no safer nor more risky. |
